Back checks – Installation situations

DICTATOR offers a large number of mounting brackets and plates for back checks, which allow many installation options for almost any application.

The selection of installation accessories depends on the following:

  • whether the door has an overhead door closer on the side on which the back check should be installed
  • the material of the door and frame
  • how much space is available for the installation accessories
  • the forces acting on the door (e.g. wind)
  • which back check can to be used
  • on which side of the back check is installed (push or pull side)

We will be happy to help you choose the right model and accessories, including fixing points. Get in touch with us.
